Wayne Palmer - Events Manager

Wayne joined the Foundation as an Events Manager in 2017 after working alongside Dale on the French 400 charity bike ride in France.

Having worked in event management for many years, Wayne brings a methodical & consistent approach to the team helping raise vital funds for the Foundation to carry out our work in and around Bath.

Wayne said ''Joining the Foundation has been a fantastic experience.

"The team that go out day after day delivering their great programmes in the community really are inspiring and that is what drives me to deliver along side the fundraising team to ensure the work is carried out for many years to come.''

Sports have made me who I are. Throughout my life, my coaches and teammates have mentored, inspired and challenged me. They have made me who I am and helped me get to where I am. I firmly believe in the power of sports, and especially team sports, to improve all areas of life for kids, to empower them, and to open doors for them. I believe in sports as a school for life and a tool in the fight for greater equality in society. Bath Rugby Foundation embodies those beliefs.

Bath Rugby Foundation and Bath Rugby Ladies have teamed up to offer young women a new route into the sport. A new Bath Rugby Ladies Mixed Ability Development team will see women who are new to the sport given the chance to learn from expert coaches and play alongside experienced players.
